Looking for other productive independent colleagues to hustle with!
Hey there! I've had this ongoing issue in my head for at least the past 2-3 years and I'm wondering if anyone has felt the same/found a solution.
I have a tendency to work on a few side projects at any given time and I'm unfortunate that none of my friends/colleagues can really relate to similar tech based projects - which can make it difficult to juggle numerous projects without any colleagues to work with/assist on.
I'm wondering whether there's a good place online that specifically focuses on networking with other developers/digital entrepreneurs? (whether it's within a local search radius or not)
Indie Hackers doesn't quite fit this criteria as everyone already has their own full time projects which they can't spare any time or focus on other projects.
I'm seeking a place where there's more of a P2P networking opportunity to know the people before even considering working with them on your next project (not something like Twitter, but more meet+greet).
Hopefully this makes enough sense that some of you out there can relate in a similar way, and hopefully there's already a digital avenue like this out there. :)
Cheers,
Luke.
Hi Luke - I'm doing a small side thing to solve this. Is a big pain for me. Will circle back round soon with a link :)
Maybe there's a Slack community?

Awesome resource, thanks!
IH is the best platform where you can get best help!! Feel free to talk to me in detail about the help you need. I can pull some time to look into it.
Thanks Vishal, P2P networking seems to be a bit more difficult than comment replies etc.
I'll shoot you a message, thanks. :)
Hey Luke, I met my co-founder @TonyOnRails through IH! I wasn't even necessarily looking for anyone to work with. It just happened organically because we really hit it off. There's another pair who posted recently who also met on IH. This community is fantastic and certainly a proven place to meet a co-founder. That said I know there are other communities like Founder2be more geared towards what you're describing. Finding networking events in your area is another way to go too. It can happen anywhere when you're putting the effort into meeting people. Good luck!
Hey Victor, thanks for the added confidence. :)
I'm not so much looking for a co-founder, more so a multi-project/side hustle partner(s).
I've started looking up local events so I think that may be my next best bet, cheers!
